Recommended Monday Show: Deakin, Prince Rama, Silk Flowers, and Amen Dunes at Glasslands
Sorry I wasn’t able to post about yesterday and today. There was a lot of really great stuff happening (Alex Bleeker & The Freaks in Red Hook last night, the Todd P acoustic barbecue today), but WordPress wouldn’t let me log in for some reason. Hopefully, all these technical issues will magically disappear soon. In the meantime, [...]
Recommended Friday Show: Thomas Function, PC Worship, and Knight School at Monster Island Basement
Quick, how many current bands do you know from Alabama? Not that many, right? Maybe one of the reasons I like Thomas Function so much is their exotic locale, but I think they’ve got the scuzzy garage punk down almost better than anyone else today. If you listen, their songwriting and structure is pretty clever, [...]
Two Cool New Bands: Translations and Your Youth
I’ve been digging really hard this week on Translations and Your Youth. Two very different NYC bands, but they both have a lot of awesome in common. I bet you’ll like both of these tracks. Translations sent me an e-mail a few days ago with their second ever single, “Tarantella.” It’s a stunning little song, [...]
Recommended Wednesday Show: The Do and Dinosaur Feathers at The Bell House
I guess the Do are a pretty popular band, but I didn’t know anything about them until a month or two ago when their album, A Mouthful, wound up in my iTunes from the radio station I DJ for. They’re a duo from Paris and Helsinki, and the only reason I gave their album the [...]
Recommended Tuesday Show: Happy Birthday at Brooklyn Bowl
You’ve had a nice, long holiday weekend, so it’s important to ease yourself back into the week. That’s why this free Happy Birthday show couldn’t be timed better. Grab some friends and go for a beer and maybe some bowling, and see a really cool band while you’re at it. Low-pressure, good Tuesday vibes. Happy [...]

Recommended Saturday Show: Monster Island Block Party
This Saturday is Monster Island’s 3rd Annual Block Party. If these supposed torrential hurricane downpours hold off (I remain dubious), then you’ll be treated to a whole bunch of acts both in Monster Island and outside of it. Frankie and The Outs, Golden Triangle, Aa, K-Holes, K-Ray Eyeballs, and Knyfe Hyts are all playing, along [...]

Photos (for Impose): War On Drugs, Light Pollution, and Xylos at Rock Shop
On Tuesday night I walked down to Rock Shop to check out both Philadelphia’s War On Drugs and the new Park Slop venue. Rock Shop’s downstairs music component is pretty alright. There were a ton of sound problems throughout the night, which mostly seemed like bad cables to me, so I think they have a [...]
Recommended Friday Show: Night Manager, Post Post, Web Dating, and Mainland Fever at Cake Shop
The best recommended show posts are the ones where I get to talk about entirely new, noteworthy bands. I’m excited about all four bands playing at Cake Shop this Friday. Night Manager is the show’s headliner. Female-fronted fronted lo-fi with a surf-rock edge. This stuff is right up my alley and I can’t wait to [...]

Recommended Thursday Show: Philip Seymour Hoffman, Human Resources, Noah’s Ark Was A Spaceship, and Weekends at Shea Stadium
(Photo by Jim Hori) This show at Shea Stadium will be full of up-and-coming sounds and noises that are ahead of their sonic time. Or at least a bunch of really cool, eccentric, eclectic bands. Philip Seymour Hoffman sounds exactly like you’d expect them to sound. Sort of weird and unexpected, but somehow conventionally good. [...]

MP3 Roundup: Weed Diamond, The Corin Tucker Band, Ducktails, and The Hundred In The Hands
Happy September! Time to get blogging again. I’ve had a nice break, and now I’m ready with fresh ears to bring you the best Brooklyn has to offer. I expect to be posting at least once a day, but I want to reiterate that I’m not going to suggest a daily show unless there’s something [...]
